I just had the same bug appear when I was updating an 8.04 LTS computer that has not been used for about 6 months or more. The Update Manager reported that there were over 500 updates to do, so I let it rip. First, it said it couldn't do a full upgrade, just a partial upgrade (I just wanted it to do what it could do, so that's ok). Then in installation phase, I got the series of errors mentioned above, dealing with mono-gac, mono-addins0.2-cil, tomboy, fspot, and the final coup saying that the system is in an indeterminate state or something like that and it may not run. I rebooted and am sending this report just to show that whatever fix was thought to have solved the problem, didn't fix for me. My installation was not from a beta, but rather from the final 8.04LTS release. So much for long term reliability. I'm glad this was not a production computer, just one I use from time to time. I haven't done anything to the packages that were downloaded from standard repositories. I don't even use Mono. ... Moving on to a clean 9.10 installation, until the next LTS comes out, and then I'll do another clean re-installation. If I were an IT professional with a customer having this problem, I'd be kicking myself for going forward with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS at this point. Hopefully, anyone in that position can clean up the mess by removing and reinstalling affected programs, if they can be determined. The big question is, why is the update still failing after all these months? One would hope that when status is "Fix Released", it stays fixed.
